Who We Are

ILP is the parent and creator of the award-winning and nationally acclaimed practical and emotional support TRIP Model. TRIP is the innovative, self-directed mileage reimbursement transportation service for special needs or specifically defined populations. TRIP is easy to start and easy to operate. Because it is cost efficient and highly effective, communities across the United States are adapting the model to provide meaningful transportation for previously unserved or underserved residents.
